There is a god in the sky

Chapter 202 Who is the Murderer 9

"Have you done any confidential things for her? If the Crown Princess trusts you, she would definitely involve you, which means she truly considers you one of her own."

Jenny twisted her fingers and stammered, "It's...it's alright."

A strange fragrance wafted into her nose.

She was lost in thought and didn't notice anything amiss, so she didn't see the change in Shen Lan's gaze.

The sounds of singing and dancing on the stage continued, and Yanni felt a little dizzy.

"Sister, let's go downstairs. I might be a little afraid of heights."

A hand suddenly gave her a gentle push, then pulled her back. She heard Shen Lan ask with concern, "Be careful, don't stand so close to the edge. If you fall from here, your head will be smashed open."

Jenny tried to back away, but a hand held her firmly in place.

She turned to look at Shen Lan and heard her ask, "Have you ever seen someone fall to their death? I saw a girl fall from a building at Qixiu Workshop a few days ago. Tsk tsk, she died a horrible death, her face covered in blood!"

Yanni stared blankly, then asked, "Are you talking about the Wu family's daughter?"

"You know her?"

"Yes, I know you."

Jenny's face contorted in pain. She clearly didn't want to answer, but her mouth reacted faster than her brain.

"What a pity, such a good girl, she should have married happily ever after," Shen Lan sighed.

"No pity, she deserved to die!"

"Why?"

“She…she…” Jenny struggled, keeping her eyes closed and refusing to tell the truth.

The place was too spacious, and she hadn't inhaled enough sleeping gas, so she was still conscious.

Shen Lan knew that it would be difficult to get the truth out of her.

But with these few words, she was basically certain that the murderer was someone from the Marquis's mansion.

Shen Lan knocked her unconscious with a slap, tied her up, and hid her behind a Buddha statue, planning to take her out after finishing her business.

She gazed at the room Lin Miaoniang had just entered, and a map of the Tong family mansion appeared in her mind.

It would be difficult to sneak in.

As she was making her plans, she saw a man linger outside the house for a while before sneaking inside.

Shen Lan's expression changed drastically. She ran down the pagoda and ran towards that direction as fast as she could.

In the side room, Miao Niang was changing her clothes, but suddenly felt tired and sleepy, so she lay down on the soft couch to rest.

She thought to herself that the birthday banquet at the Tong family's residence would definitely not end so quickly, and she should be fine after resting for a while.

She just didn't realize that she fell asleep rather quickly.

She had no idea that someone had broken into her room after she fell asleep.

Tong Juntao closed the door and lewdly said, "Beauty, this young master is here."

It was his suggestion to his grandmother to have Lin Miaoniang perform the dance, all for the sake of this moment.

He had his eye on this woman back during the dance competition, but she was taken away by the princess at the time, so he didn't have a chance to make a move.

He rubbed his hands together as he walked to the soft couch, stared at her sleeping face for a long time, and then reached out to touch her cheek.

"Her skin is delicate and smooth, and her figure is curvaceous; she is truly a beauty!"

His hand slowly moved down, unbuttoning Lin Miaoniang's collar to reveal a patch of fair skin.

"Beauty, after today, you will be mine. Who cares about emperors or princes? The first to strike wins."

He ripped open Lin Miaoniang's clothes. "No rush, no one will bother us. We have plenty of time to play!"

Shen Lan was stopped by a servant as soon as she approached the courtyard.

"Which courtyard do you serve in?" the servant asked, puzzled, seeing that she looked unfamiliar.

Shen Lan, however, had seen him before.

This attendant had appeared beside Tong Juntao on that pleasure boat back then.

In other words, the man who just entered the house was Tong Juntao!

Shen Lan was anxious and replied, "This servant is from the Foreign Affairs Office. The head maid ordered me to come and see if Lin Wuguan needs anything."

"She's resting now, you can go."

"What do you mean? Why are you here? Is the Second Young Master inside?" Shen Lan asked, frowning.

"Get out! How dare you interfere in the Second Young Master's affairs?" the attendant shouted angrily.

Shen Lan didn't want to talk to him anymore, so she pretended to back down and leave.

Once the attendant turned his back, she quickly pulled out a silver needle and inserted it into his Shangxing acupoint. Before he could faint, she helped him and hid behind a nearby artificial hill.

She ran to the outside of the house and heard Tong Juntao's lewd laughter coming from inside, but she didn't hear the woman's voice, so she knew something was wrong.

She reached out and pushed the door, only to find it locked from the inside. A sudden thought struck her, and she spoke in an old woman's voice: "Hey, I clearly saw a lecherous man break in just now, where is he?"

She switched to a younger voice and said, "Madam, perhaps you are mistaken. Isn't this the courtyard for guests to rest?"

"Impossible! Quickly go into each room and check, don't let the thieves succeed!"

Tong Juntao paused, then looked up outside.

Although he couldn't see anything, he could hear their conversation and what sounded like messy footsteps.

How did someone get here?

He clearly sent people to guard outside the courtyard, so where did the dead man go?

He reluctantly got off the beauty without making a sound, waiting for the people outside to leave on their own.

How could Tong Juntao be content with having meat right in front of him but being unable to eat it?

Seeing that there was no sound from inside, Shen Lan went forward and knocked on the door, whispering in the servant's voice, "Young Master... open the door..."

Tong Juntao walked to the door and asked unhappily, "What? Who's here?"

"The elderly ladies said they wanted to see Lin Wuguan; it was something urgent."

If it were a young woman, Tong Juntao would definitely ignore her, and might even drag her in to have some fun.

But since it was the old lady who came, he didn't dare to act rashly.

"Are they still outside?"

"No, he was tricked away by the servant."

Tong Juntao raised an eyebrow and sneered, "If that's the case, then what's there to be afraid of? I'll just give it back to them when I'm done."

She's just a dancer.

They wouldn't dare to go against me.

Shen Lan's face darkened.

It seems impossible to get him to open the door himself.

"If you dare let anyone in, I'll kill you!"

Tong Juntao uttered a harsh remark and then turned to walk towards the beauty.

Behind him, the door bolt suddenly moved, making a slight sound.

Tong Juntao was completely absorbed in the beauty and didn't notice the sound at all.

Only when the bolt was lifted and fell to the ground with a "clatter" did he turn around in surprise.

Just as he was about to reprimand her, he saw a maid from the Tong family standing at the door, backlit, so his expression was obscured, but the murderous aura emanating from her was terrifying.

"You...who are you?"

Tong Juntao retreated step by step.

Shen Lan came in, closed the door, picked up the door bolt from the ground and locked it, then curtsied to Tong Juntao and said, "Second Young Master, this servant has something to discuss with you."

"Get out!"

Shen Lan stood up and gave him a flirtatious wink.

"Second Young Master, I have long admired you and wish to serve you."

The Tong family had no shortage of maids who threw themselves at Tong Juntao.

But he's very picky; he doesn't want just anyone.

He carefully examined the maid in front of him and immediately felt that she looked familiar.

But it wasn't surprising that the maids in the Tong household looked familiar, so he didn't think much of it.

Then he realized that the little maid was indeed quite pretty; normally, he would have just taken her in.

But now, with a dancing queen lying behind him, whom he had been thinking about for many days, the little maid in front of him seemed a bit indifferent.

"I don't have time for you. Get out of here and don't ruin my good time!"

Shen Lan's expression changed, and she accused him with a mournful tone: "If the Second Young Master is so heartless, then don't blame this servant for being ruthless!"

She could already see Lin Miaoniang lying on the soft couch, her upper body almost completely naked.

Enraged, she shot a small knife at Tong Juntao!

At such close range, and with Tong Juntao completely unprepared, the knife struck him in the chest.

Just as he was about to cry out, a figure flashed before his eyes, and then something covered his mouth.

Shen Lan leaned closer to him and said gently, "Second Young Master, wait a little longer on the road to the underworld, and perhaps you will be reunited with your family soon."

She reached out, grabbed the knife handle, and twisted it violently, completely shredding his heart.

Tong Juntao's eyes bulged out, and he grabbed Shen Lan's hands, making a "hoho" sound.

Shen Lan pried his hands open and gently pushed him, causing the already lifeless body to fall to the ground.
